DEM Chapter 50: All I Can Say Is, I’m Your Loyal Fan!

“Got a peak Qi Refining university athlete to back you up, huh? No wonder Huang Sheng’s so cocky,” Su Yuan thought, sizing up the burly young man behind Huang Sheng.

The gap between high schoolers and university students wasn’t just in cultivation level but also in academic progress, a chasm as wide as the heavens.

Take martial arts, for example. A peak Qi Refining university student wasn’t limited to martial techniques; they’d already touched the realm of Daoist arts.

The depth of university courses far outstripped high school ones.

In short, even a cheat-user like Su Yuan wasn’t sure he could win.

It made sense. If opening a cheat allowed you to casually challenge university students across tiers, the value of a university education would be laughably low.

What if Chen Nuoyi joined in?

With the academic prodigy, they might manage, but even if they drove the guy off, it’d be a messy, embarrassing affair.

And he didn’t even have an anti-riot fork handy.

“Su Yuan…” Chen Nuoyi said with concern, stepping forward to help, but Su Yuan stopped her.

“Wait a sec. I might be able to handle this myself,” he said, giving her a reassuring smile before turning to the burly young man.

The young man wore the standard athlete’s tank top and shorts, both damp with sweat that hadn’t been wiped off.

Given the time of day, Su Yuan boldly guessed he’d just finished training.

“Well then…” Su Yuan’s eyes glinted as he activated Demonic Technique · Fate Finger. A fate appeared above the young man’s head.

[Leg Day (Fulfilled)]

As expected!

And it was leg day, the nightmare of fitness buffs!

Su Yuan’s mind raced, and he formulated a plan.

His silent staring at the young man was interpreted by Huang Sheng as feigned composure.

Huang Sheng sneered, “Still trying to play hero in front of the goddess at a time like this? I think you’d better…”

But before he could finish, he was stunned to see Su Yuan’s face break into a warm smile as he extended his hand toward Huang Sheng’s cousin.

“A university senior! Pleasure to meet you!” Su Yuan said, striding forward like the wind and enthusiastically grabbing the young man’s hand.

Huang Sheng felt a surge of glee. “Trying to butter us up now? Too late!”

“Cousin, give him a taste of his own medicine!”

The burly young man glanced at Su Yuan’s outstretched hand, smirked disdainfully, and flexed his muscles, his massive hand gripping Su Yuan’s with force!

“Ahh—”

The next second, a piercing scream rang out.

Huang Sheng, facing away, saw one of the two shadows behind him collapse to the ground in pain!

“Hahaha, Su Yuan, oh Su Yuan. The heavens punish the arrogant, and the reckless meet disaster. Do you get it now?” Huang Sheng gloated.

“Don’t think I’m being shady. I just invited a university senior to spar with you for your own good. Go cry to the teachers, it won’t help.”

“Remember this lesson. Stay away from the school beauty, or I’ll beat you every time I see you!”

Huang Sheng laughed, hands on his hips, but his laughter faltered as the unending screams sounded… off.

That didn’t sound like Su Yuan, it was his cousin!

Huang Sheng whipped around, horrified to see his tall, imposing cousin kneeling before Su Yuan, sobbing, his entire body trembling and spasming!

In this state, his cousin couldn’t muster any strength, desperately trying to pull his hand free, but Su Yuan held it firmly.

“Cousin! No!!!” Huang Sheng cried out in panic.

Instinctively, he wanted to rush forward, but a light cough from Chen Nuoyi nearby froze him in place.

The school beauty, ranked top three in their grade, was still standing by Su Yuan! If he tried a sneak attack, he’d be the next one begging for mercy.

But no matter how hard Huang Sheng racked his brain, he couldn’t fathom how his cousin, a tanned university athlete, had been reduced to this just by a handshake.

Had Su Yuan held back during their morning fight?

Su Yuan’s physical strength wasn’t greater than Huang Sheng’s cousin’s. The reason for the collapse was simple.

During the handshake, Su Yuan had infused a massive amount of Abyssal spiritual energy into the young man, skyrocketing his body’s sensitivity.

By about… a hundred times.

In a normal state, the young man might have calmly expelled the Abyssal energy, but he’d just finished leg training.

His legs were already sore and shaky, barely able to walk. A slight boost in sensitivity was more than he could handle.

Kneeling before Su Yuan, completely at his mercy, was only natural.

As for Huang Sheng? He’d lost too quickly that morning to know the effects of Abyssal spiritual energy.

Swallowing hard, Huang Sheng stammered in fear, “S-Su Yuan… I was wrong. C-Can you… please let us go?”

“Let you go?” Su Yuan’s lips curled into a slight smirk as he tilted his head toward Huang Sheng. “Come here.”

Huang Sheng tremblingly approached, then froze in terror as Su Yuan pulled two pills from his pocket.

One was a deep yellow pill, the other a blue pill.

“I’m giving you two choices,” Su Yuan said coldly.

“First: eat these two pills obediently.”

“Second: get beaten to your knees, then eat these two pills obediently.”

Hearing Su Yuan’s icy tone, Huang Sheng felt like he’d fallen into an icy abyss!

It was as if he wasn’t facing a high schooler but a demon in a student’s skin!

Two pills of unknown effects, who’d dare eat those?!

Huang Sheng shook his head frantically, like a girl cornered by thugs.

“Class monitor, feed Huang some medicine,” Su Yuan said with a cold snort.

Chen Nuoyi moved like a flash, kicking Huang Sheng in the ribs.

Gasping for air, Huang Sheng collapsed to his knees, his mouth instinctively opening wide.

With a flick of his fingers, Su Yuan shot both pills into Huang Sheng’s throat, where they melted instantly.

“Ugh, ugh!” Huang Sheng clutched his neck, gagging desperately, but nothing came up, his eyes brimming with tears.

“You, Su Yuan! What did you make me eat?!” he demanded.

Su Yuan gave a slightly maniacal grin. “Relax, it’s good stuff. It won’t kill you.”

Huang Sheng was dumbfounded.

Your definition of “good stuff” is just “it won’t kill me”?!

In truth, Su Yuan hadn’t done anything too extreme to Huang Sheng.

The blue pill was the body-refining pill Su Yuan often took, which drastically increased nutrient absorption and caused a sharp sensation in the head.

The yellow pill, acquired from the buffet restaurant, induced a week-long satiety, making it impossible to eat.

Su Yuan had long been curious: the blue pill made you ravenous, while the yellow pill suppressed appetite. What would happen if they were combined?

As he pondered, Huang Sheng reacted.

He collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. “My stomach… it hurts! Food… I need food!”

“Urgh, urgh! Why do I want to vomit just thinking about food? It’s so uncomfortable, I want to puke…”

Huang Sheng clutched his stomach, rolling on the ground. Su Yuan’s lips curved into a pleased smile, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Then, he slowly turned his gaze to Huang Sheng’s cousin.

The cousin was trembling in fear.
